In conversation about the French Perspective on Australian History

Groupe "Australia"

Australian History

Let's talk about the French Perspective on Australian History while sipping a glass of wine!

 

A few months ago, one of France’s most circulated History magazines, L’Histoire, published an issue entirely dedicated to  Australia. Romain Fathi, one of the authors, will join us at the Alliance Française on Friday 12 June to present this publication and  to examine what parts of Australian history interest French people.

What kind of impression of Australia does this magazine depict? Do the French know much about Australia? Are they interested in  Aboriginal history or the ANZACs? Settlement and colonial history or contemporary issues? Romain Fathi will take you through  these cultural representations and provide some background on the French perspective regarding Australian history.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and a glass of French wine! Conference given in English.
